“The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the traction control, steering, and ABS warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the part was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with the same failure as the dealer. The independent mechanic made the contact aware of Technical Service Bulletin: C0044-4-9 (Rear Brakes sticking after bleeding with the Park Brake set); which the contact related to the failure. The dealer confirmed that the vehicle was not under recall, and that the contact had to pay out of pocket for the repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle started pulling to the right. The contact became aware that the electric power steering was not functioning properly. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle idled abnormally rough, causing the seats to vibrate. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the power steering assist control module. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V305000 (Engine) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was known.”

“The power steering light intermittently comes on and nearly locks the steering wheel. This occurs without warning while driving. Turning the vehicle off and on sometimes resolves the issue. This occurs without warning and makes steering very difficult. My mechanic confirmed the vehicle is showing a code for the power steering system and said the only solution was to replace the electronic motor. The warning light does not come on until the steering wheel stiffens up. This has occurred many times at various speeds. There seems to be no pattern. Sometimes it does not happen for a week or two, other times it happens multiple times in a day.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while the vehicle was either idle or while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel, seats, and dashboard all would sporadically start to vibrate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer who advised him that they did not recognize the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that while conducting his own research, he found there were many complaints about what he was experiencing with his vehicle. The manufacturer was notified about the failure and advised that he contact the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 30,100.”
